Lately, you're telling me to grow up now
Maybe, I have to figure my shit out
Trying that daily, been trying but I don't know how
On my way, can you wait for me until I worked it out?

I wish I was a bit wiser, wiser
So I could lift you up higher, higher
I know that I ain't okay
I'll try to get there one day
I wish I made your days brighter, brighter
And the weight on your shoulders lighter, lighter
I know that I ain't okay
But I promise I'll be one day

Now don't you go and panic
Don't start kicking me out
You're the one that I am nothing without
I need you now
Yeah, I need you now
I don't belong here
Getting nowhere

I wish I was a bit wiser, wiser
So I could lift you up higher, higher
I know that I ain't okay
I'll try to get there one day
I wish I made your days brighter, brighter
And the weight on your shoulders lighter, lighter
I know that I ain't okay
But I promise I'll be one day
It'll be okay

I know that I ain't okay
But I promise I'll be one day

I wish I was a bit wiser, wiser
So I could lift you up higher, higher
I know that I ain't okay
I'll try to get there one day
You'll be okay
